Over the past 20 years, many new hadron states have been discovered, but understanding their nature remains a key experimental and theoretical challenge. Recent studies have established that hadron-hadron interactions primarily govern the…
Inspired by the latest BESIII measurement of the $\Lambda(1520)\to\gamma\Sigma^0$ radiative decay, we systematically study the decays $\Lambda(1520)\to\gamma\Lambda(\Sigma^0)$ within the chiral unitary approach, where the $\Lambda(1520)$ is…
Hadron-hadron interactions, as a non-perturbative effect, play a significant role in understanding phenomenological problems in particle physics. Femtoscopy is a powerful tool in heavy-ion collision experiments, enabling the extraction of…
The nature of the tetraneutron ($4n$) system remains a pivotal question in nuclear physics. We investigate the $4n$ system using nuclear lattice effective field theory in finite volumes with a lattice size up to $L=30$~fm, employing both a…
We explore the potential of conducting an experiment in a low Earth orbit spacecraft and using the Earth as a spin and mass source to constrain beyond-the-standard-model (BSM) long-range spin- and velocity-dependent interactions, which are…
The $\Lambda_c p$ momentum correlation functions are investigated using $\Lambda_c N$ interactions derived within the covariant chiral effective field theory. Our analysis reveals that the interaction is weakly attractive in the…
We present the first systematic investigation of the $S=-1$ meson--baryon interaction within a fully off-shell covariant unitarized chiral effective field theory framework up to next-to-leading order. In particular, we perform a detailed…
We present a theoretical analysis of the process $\Lambda_c^+ \to p\bar{K}^0 \pi^0$ within the chiral unitary approach, with particular emphasis on the dynamically generated $N(1535)$ resonance. In addition to $N(1535)$, our model…
Understanding near-threshold strong interactions is essential for disentangling hadronic molecules and compact multiquark states in heavy-flavor spectroscopy. In this context, the doubly charmed tetraquark candidate $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ serves…
Three-body forces, a type of non-perturbative strong interaction, are widely studied in nuclear physics. However, whether their inclusion is necessary in nuclear systems remains a topic of intense debate. In this letter, we propose that the…
The kaon, the lightest hadron containing a strangeness quark, is very peculiar. It is a Nambu-Goldstone boson, but significantly heavier than the pion. As a result, its interaction with a matter particle, such as the nucleon or a…
The nuclear force is central to our understanding of complex nuclear phenomena and to the applications of nuclear techniques. The nonperturbative nature of the low-energy strong interaction and the color confinement have made an ab initio…
We derive the long-range components of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) two-pion-exchange potential with an intermediate Roper resonance. Leading-order interactions in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory are considered. NN phase shifts with…
We present a theoretical investigation of the radiative decay process $\Omega(2012) \to \gamma \Omega$, where the $\Omega(2012)$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$, is treated as a dynamically generated state from…
We investigate the dynamically generated $h_1$ state with spin-parity $J^P = 1^+$ and a mass around 1790~MeV, arising from the $K^* \bar{K}^*$ interaction within the chiral unitary approach. The partial decay widths into the…
Over the past two decades, numerous exotic hadron states have been discovered, yet their underlying nature remains unclear. It is widely acknowledged that understanding hadron-hadron interactions is essential to unraveling their properties.…
Recent re-analyses of the di-$J/\Psi$ invariant mass spectra reveal a state near the di-$J/\Psi$ threshold, referred to as the $X(6200)$. Yet the nature of this near-threshold pole--whether it is a resonant, bound, or virtual state--remains…
We revisit the neutron-deuteron scattering using the Wave-Packet Continuum Discretization (WPCD) method with the EKM chiral nuclear force at various chiral orders. We rederive the permutation operator and solve the Faddeev-AGS equations…
The femtoscopic $ D_s^+D_s^-$ correlations are investigated to predict the signature of the not-yet-established $X(3960)$ state reported by the LHCb Collaboration, in three scenarios: resonant, virtual, or bound. In the last two scenarios,…
We present the two-pion exchange contributions to the nucleon-nucleon interaction up to next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N$^3$LO) in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. Both one-loop and two-loop diagrams are calculated with…
